My Personal Trials & Tribulations Update - 10/3/24 & the Results of Stephanie Lazarus 10/2/24 Parole Hearing

Hello everyone!

Stephanie Lazarus
At Lazarus' most recent parole hearing, the board rescinded her parole release. There is a review again in 120 days. Hopefully, I'll have Matthew McGough's pool report notes posted in a few days

Health Update
I'm still alive. I'm still on two feet. I can do all my own "ADL's" = activities of daily living, but I HATE cooking for myself. My friend in my Mobile Home Park cooks for me,

I don't have my long hair anymore like my photo on my blog. I've lost a lot of weight from the last drug trial I was in. I weigh what I did when I was in my early 30's, I'm still dealing with Stage IV cancer. I finally have a bladder cancer specialist since October of last year ... took forever for my insurance to approve that ... 

I still drive myself to my cancer appointments at USC, Kenneth Norris Cancer hospital from the Northwest San Fernando Valley (Canoga Park). With our freeway system, it takes me at least 90 minutes on our freeways to get there.

I've currently signed up for a new phase I/II drug trial, for a drug that might help control my cancer. The study is trying to fit me into the schedule for my initial screening. 

Let's hope I get through the study, accepted and this drug helps me. 

Here is what I look like now. This is me on the right, with my friend who cooks for me.  September 25, at USC Kenneth Norris Cancer Hospital.
